:04:54. > :05:01.by the bonfire and if you are still in a vapour cloud of flammable gases
:05:01. > :05:06.that is very dangerous. This case demonstrates the worst sort of

:05:46. > :05:54.Council has began its own campaign to find more with a 4-page newspaper
:05:54. > :05:58.advert. This couple adopted a little girl every other issue. We thought
:05:58. > :06:04.rather than trying anything else after the IDF we would look at
:06:04. > :06:07.adoption and we started last year and he have been doing IVF for
:06:07. > :06:13.several years on and off. It has been a long journey over seven
:06:13. > :06:19.years. We waited six months after applying for adoption and that was
:06:19. > :06:25.how it went. There are 1100 children in Norfolk in care and last year 74
:06:25. > :06:28.were placed with adoptive parents. Of those 56 were really adopted.
:06:28. > :06:37.were expecting it to be more difficult and to take a longer
:06:37. > :06:42.period of time. We first applied last year and it has all happened in
:06:42. > :06:48.just over one year. To become a mother at last must be wonderful.
:06:48. > :06:54.is lovely. Even the going down the supermarket and the woman on the

:07:22. > :07:27.around 1100, however we are talking about adoption is and obviously not
:07:27. > :07:35.every child that is looked after comes under the adoptive bracket.
:07:35. > :07:43.What makes a perfect adoptive parent? You have just seen one to be

:07:54. > :08:00.What were the bodies when you went into that because there may be
:08:00. > :08:03.similar concerns for other people out there. The real worry for
:08:03. > :08:08.Patricia and myself was that we have another daughter and we wanted
:08:08. > :08:13.another child to complete our family. It was the effect on our
:08:13. > :08:17.daughter, obviously, because you are introducing another person into your
:08:17. > :08:22.family. Not the fact that we would not love her, but how that jigsaw
:08:22. > :08:28.would work and there is a range of emotions you are going through. It
:08:28. > :08:31.was the best thing that we ever did. Brilliant. People will think that
:08:31. > :08:37.they have to jump through so many hoops before they can get a child
:08:37. > :08:43.that it will take so long that they do not want to do it. The hoops are
:08:43. > :08:46.there for a reason. It should hopefully be done within six months
:08:46. > :08:51.but you must understand that what we are looking after is the child's
:08:51. > :08:54.interest. It is not the parents, it is the fact that if you are
:08:54. > :08:58.introducing someone to a family it can be disruptive and you must
:08:58. > :09:03.understand the dynamics of that. That is what we must go through and
:09:03. > :09:07.people must be aware of that. The blood transfusion service
:09:07. > :09:12.insisted today that blood supplies will not be affected in our region

:09:45. > :09:50.completely bewildered by it. They always say they are crying out for
:09:50. > :09:54.more donors that we do not have enough blood in this country so why
:09:54. > :09:58.are making it harder for people? They are six bloodmobile is in the
:09:58. > :10:05.east but the ones in Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire are all
:10:05. > :10:08.being taken off of the road. Managers at NHS Blood and Transplant
:10:08. > :10:11.-- NHS Blood and Transplant said they want to build temporary site
:10:11. > :10:18.like this one in Norfolk and they will have permanent centres
:10:18. > :10:23.elsewhere. If you look at the way we currently collects blood we would
:10:23. > :10:30.collect 35 units on a bloodmobile using for staff and he could collect
:10:30. > :10:33.45 units on a cold session with two more staff. In terms of the cost
:10:33. > :10:37.savings they are significant in our ability to collect more blood more
:10:37. > :10:42.effectively and more efficiently. do not worried that fewer people
:10:42. > :10:49.will donate if you take these bands of off the road because they can get
:10:49. > :10:53.two more places, can they not? would rephrase that. Blood donors
:10:53. > :10:59.are loyal to us and have donated blood for several years. We must
:10:59. > :11:05.engage with them so that they can tend -- so that they can continue to
:11:05. > :11:10.do that. NHS Blood and Transplant hope that they will be able to save
:11:10. > :11:13.hospitals money with this new process. Keith Swetman has donated
:11:13. > :11:18.over 100 pints of blood and the so annoyed he has written to his local
:11:18. > :11:25.MP. The people who use them believe it to be a more personal service
:11:25. > :11:30.than to go to the big sessions were due a being processed. Just as if
:11:30. > :11:34.you were in a queue at Tesco's. Although blood will be collected,
:11:34. > :11:39.without the mobile vans, people like Keith and Angela said it will have
:11:39. > :11:42.to think long and hard about how they will sacrifice to make such a

:12:25. > :12:32.Play it nice and cool, you know what I mean?
:12:32. > :12:37.That gets me every time! Last week on Look East we were looking at the

:13:29. > :13:35.called Joint In back by Eddie Izzard is trying to Mordt more volunteers.
:13:35. > :13:40.6000 people have registered in the East region. In Suffolk they have
:13:40. > :13:46.started their own legacy project run by Mick McCarthy who leads a team of
:13:46. > :13:52.230 volunteers. We are wanting to show people the power of
:13:52. > :13:59.volunteering because they turned the Games into something that people
:13:59. > :14:09.would never forget. Mike's team are called in to help with big Southwark

:14:11. > :14:14.events like the Ipswich Calf Marathon and the Southwark Games.
:14:14. > :14:24.never occurred to me that with the spare time that I have I could
:14:24. > :14:31.
:14:31. > :14:34.contribute. You cannot explain the feeling. It is amazing. I love it.
:14:34. > :14:40.The success of the Olympic Games Makers has cut the attention of
:14:40. > :14:45.other big-ticket events. Serve Austin and Northants for the Grand

:14:57. > :15:03.the future. There are some interesting characters and they are
:15:03. > :15:06.riding to go. Sport is at the glamour end of volunteering and it
:15:06. > :15:12.was not invented by Lord Coe. Thousands of us have been doing it
:15:12. > :15:18.for many, many years. volunteering as quite a flexible
:15:18. > :15:21.thing. In general, volunteering has stayed steady for the past few years
:15:21. > :15:27.and there has always been a good number of people who do that but we
:15:27. > :15:29.could always have more. The trick is to use the spirit of the Games to
:15:29. > :15:35.get more volunteering in charities and social care groups and not just
:15:35. > :15:41.sport. If we could all think of our region as one big Olympic Park it
:15:41. > :15:45.might just work. If you are a volunteer we would like
:15:45. > :15:55.to hear from you. If you were inspired by London 2012, these get

:16:15. > :16:22.That is tonight fascinating fact! The farmers in this region are using

:17:23. > :17:25.why. I then realised when we looked into it that it was the lowest
:17:25. > :17:35.accurate fact content of the rapeseed. That led to more
:17:35. > :17:35.
:17:35. > :17:40.questions. Why can I not buy a premium rapeseed oil.
:17:40. > :17:50.So as the actual seat, can you do that? The pods have become really
